Australia’s healthcare sector faces the challenge of fragmented data systems, which makes it difficult to see the full picture of a patient’s health journey.
Without integrated insights, it becomes harder to identify care gaps, respond to emerging needs, and drive system-wide improvements.
This fragmentation presents major challenges:
• Disparate clinical systems and strict privacy requirements limit how data can be shared and analysed.
• There’s often a disconnect between the research being done and the real-world data that could predict health outcomes.
• Valuable insights are locked away in silos.
• Without connected datasets, it’s difficult to track a person’s movement through the health system or understand what support leads to better outcomes.
For Outcome Health, solving this challenge meant designing tools that could work across systems and deliver meaningful, practical insights to thousands of clinicians and health planners across the country.
Outcome Health partnered with Notitia and Qlik to deliver its POLAR platform—a robust analytics environment built to transform fragmented data into meaningful insights.
Built with Qlik, the POLAR platform enables:
• Guided analytics for quality improvement and clinical reporting
• Filterable, visual insights to support better outcomes
• Data transformation tools that convert raw information into accessible, secure, and actionable outputs
Partnering with Notitia was instrumental in managing licenses, logging support tickets, and navigating Qlik's architecture, ensuring the platform's successful implementation and ongoing support.
POLAR delivers data and analytics to over 5,000 users across 1,500 general practices in Australia.
The platform enhances patient health outcomes and quality improvement initiatives by transforming and presenting data effectively:
• Guided analytics for quality improvement and clinical reporting
• Filterable, visual insights to support better outcomes
• Data transformation tools that convert raw information into accessible, secure, and actionable outputs.
The POLAR dashboards feature two primary models: “Data Discover”, which allows users to filter data in a structured way, likened to layering a cake, and “Guided Analytics” where users follow a step-by-step process to identify specific patient cohorts for chronic disease reports.
This systematic approach ensures that healthcare services are appropriately managed and data quality is monitored.
POLAR makes it easier for healthcare professionals to focus on the data that matters—without needing technical expertise—improving how data is used across the sector.
The implementation of the POLAR platform using Qlik has helped Outcome Health and its users build a more connected, actionable healthcare data ecosystem.
Key results:
• Improved decision-making at the point of care
• Stronger collaboration between providers and Primary Health Networks (PHNs)
• Enhanced quality of care through better visibility of system-wide performance
By putting data into the hands of those who need it most, Outcome Health has strengthened the healthcare system’s ability to respond to patient needs with insight and precision.
“Working with partner Notitia has been helpful to manage licenses, log support tickets, and understand the architecture surrounding Qlik's newest functions.”
Not-for-profit Outcome Health has been dedicated to enhancing patient outcomes in Australia for over 20 years. With a focus on data intelligence and clinical services, the organisation is committed to improving the health system through innovative solutions tailored to community needs.
